  3. In the Name field, provide a descriptive name that identifies it as a keyword, such as Login Keyword.
  4. Specify tags that you want to associate with the keywords. Tags are words used for searching purposes.
  5. Click OK. The keyword shell is created.
  6. To open the keyword in the Manual Test editor, click the keyword name in the Associated Script column.
  7. For a manual keyword, select Manual as the script type.
  8. Optionally, provide a description.
  9. To begin typing your statements, click Click to add from the text editor. A new step is added with the default statement type as Execution Step (Step).
  10. To change the statement type, right-click the Execution Step icon, and select a different value from the list. In addition to Execution Step, you can choose Reporting Step (Reporting point) or Verification point (Verification point).
  11. Use the text field to give a meaningful name to the step; each step is an individual action.
    Note: Click a statement to edit it.
